About Me

I am a native of Arkansas, but now reside in Georgia. I love the Razorbacks. I love the south. I love sitting on the screened in porch sippin' lemonade. I love every shade of lipgloss on earth. I love bright colors. I love laying in the hammock listening to the birds and in the same breath I am terrified of birds! I love pedicures with cajun shrimp nail polish in the summer. I love listening to babies laugh. I love the smell of laundry detergent. This blog is all about cooking, crafts, decorating, my journey to getting into shape, and anything else I can think of! Thanks for stopping by!

Corbin is one of my husband's best friends. They have been friends since childhood. We attended his wedding last weekend in Santa Rosa Beach, FL. It was beautiful. The cross was built by a groomsman, Ryan Bradberry. He did an AMAZING job. Congrats to Corbin and Marie.

This little girl is NOT a little girl anymore. I started baby-sitting Morgan when she was 4 or 5 years old and now she is going to be SIXTEEN in August. I just can't even believe it. It makes me sad that she has grown up so fast, but at the same time I am so proud of the BEAUTIFUL girl she has become. I just love this girl to death!

I have known this family for quite sometime. Stephanie is my best friend, Lauren's, sister in law. Over the years I have grown close to Lauren's in laws and they have become like family to me! They are a very fun family and I had a great time with this session. They are all very cooperative so it took no time at all! I think Jacob might have a modeling career. He LOVED having his picture taken and you don't see that very often with little boys! To see the photo larger, click on each one.

I was asked to shoot this wedding in June. I was a little nervous since I have never done a wedding. I had so much fun though! The bride was beautiful and everyone had a blast! Click on the photo to see it bigger.

I met Amanda when I was 12 years old and we have been best friends ever since. She was in my wedding and I was in hers. She had Roman last August and he is the cutest little man I have EVER seen. I took new born pics of him and was so excited to get some updated shots with him and his parents. I love this little boy to death. He has the best personality, the best chunky rolls, the best smile, and is just as sweet as pie. I could hang out with him all day everyday.

Say hello to Farrah! Is she not the cutest thing ever. She is so sweet and has the best personality. Her meme and pawpaw had this session done for her. They are quite smitten with her. I have know this family for a very long time and they are great people. I had a really great time.

Ok, let me preface this with.....The Strickland parents might be the 2 funniest people I know! With that said, when Danna asked me to take their pictures of course I screamed YES!! Well, in my head I did, since it was via email I couldn't really scream! These kids are so well behaved, sweet, cute, smart, funny, I could go on and on, but you get the point! I had a blast with them. Side story, I brought some lollipops for the session. As soon as we opened the first two, they broke. The 3rd one broke shortly after. This is why you see broken lollipops in the photos! Of course the kids embraced it and played along. Kyler, who is 4, really liked her lollipop!

When I was in Arkansas I stayed with my best friend, Lauren. She had asked me a while back to do a "lifestyle" session. I don't really like that name so I call them "LIVIN" sessions! I had a lot of fun taking pictures of these kids that I LOVE! Here are a few that I got of them doing what they do best! Click on them to make them larger.
